Land Maps Of Farms and their Boundaries

[Simon Roberts]

Does anybody know if there are any maps available that have farms and their boundaries on them? I am looking at gaining permissions in my local area and wanted to do a little bit of research into boundaries before hand, so i know which doors to knock on.

 

Cheers

You may be able to get some more detail from the land registery web site, you need to know the location though - so a gps is usefull. It was free, but you have to pay a nominal fee these days - £2 I think..

this may not work for you.i know farmers in one town that own land in other towns,get knocking then sort the boundaries.

Well knocking is the plan for the weekend. Would like advice on how to approach it? do you just knock and say "is there any chance of offering free pest control services?"

from your location it looks like its rabbits your after. knock, tell him/her, you have seen a few on there land, ask if you can sort em. if they say no.ask if you can call again in the near future. if they say yes, you have got em.be polite and friendly, and dont mutter.

I've been through this with my farmers. You can get a map showing field boundry detail anywhere ie OS website or local council, library, etc, but I think what you want is the more specific info of who owns which field. This is best obtained from the farmers themselves as it can change very often.

When I need to detail land I shoot for the police, I use the maps (1:10,000 scale) stored in the local archive which is attached to the reference library. The charge for photocopying is 50p per copy, which is cheaper than buying separate full size maps, if like me you shoot in different areas. Your local archive should have maps which detail field boundaries and should be open Saturday mornings.

What on earth's wrong with a good old OS map. Best and cheapest (unless you download from the net) is the Explorer series 1:25 000 scale or 2 1/2" to 1 mile.

You can check out the area using Google Earth.

I was using it to check out one of my permissions and I noticed a long lake on a neighbouring property that was funneling Roe through my permission since they had to go round one end or the other.

Nice
